Psychotherapy and Counselling

Psychotherapy concentrates on underlying aspects of personality that arise from deep seated issues from childhood and are preventing the person from living life to the full. Issues may include:

chronic low self esteem

repeating patterns of negative behaviour

an inability to make or stay in relationships

addictions

eating disorders

I offer a safe reflective space in which you can understand the roots of problematic habits, feelings and relationships. I am committed to fostering an atmosphere in which you feel supported in gaining insight and support your ability to explore a more satisfying way of being in the world.

COUPLES COUNSELLING

I offer short or long term therapy for couples. Reasons for presenting for couples therapy may include:

persistant arguments/tension

feelings of isolation in the relationship

infidelity

sexual difficulties

coping with separation or divorce

The main focus for couples is usually to focus on assisting couples to communicate positively with each other in order to deal with the problems they are facing. I offer an environment in which couples are supported as they explore ways in which they can vocalise the things they feel need to be said and learning to listen to each other in a constructive way; these communication skills being important for the stengthening of relationships. Couples are also encouraged to explore the dynamics between them in order to strengthen and mediate conciliation.
